Morro Bay

Morro Bay, in central California, is a wonderful place for photographers and other artists.  There's simply so much "life" here to capture.

Morro Rock, at the mouth of the bay, is a very popular subject and finds its way into most art from the area.  Fishing boats, birds, seals, kayakers and the redwood forest all add to the beauty of the area.

Morro Bay can be shrouded in fog for days on end but the gods smiled on me this day.  I made this image of the "Morning Light" fishing vessel with the assistance of a tripod, polarizer, and shutter release.

You can drive out to the rock and watch the birds diving for breakfast, an impressive thing to say the least.  The back bay area is also worth a look.  It's located across the street from the state park entrance, southeast of the marina.  If you're the camping type, a stay at the state park, with all its redwood trees towering above you, may be just the ticket.  I found it quiet, and somewhat spiritual.
